zed1 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've been giving thought that we should recognize our older Datsuns with a "Datsun, ain't no metric tools for me" shirt. Many people cannot envision a Japanese vehicle that has SAE standards only fasteners. What are your thoughts or designs? Keith Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The 521 and before are SAE though. *Edit* I guess you know that with the ones you own. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 521 requires both, considering chassis is SAE and engine is metric. I don't see it being a hot seller... 2 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 If it had a picture of an NL320 on it I'd buy it today 320 is all SAE *early 521 and 520 w/ J13 is SAE too 3 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I just have a crecent wrench and a hammer, no problems yet. Crescent wrench, hammer, and piston ring compression tool. Can't really think of what else you'd need. Haa Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Crescent wrench, hammer, and piston ring compression tool. Can't really think of what else you'd need. Haa Nothing else apart from a spark plug socket on an extension bar to wedge the timing chain tensioner open. Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 620 all metric? 620 noob 1 Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 Still looking for ideas!!! One person suggested: Datsun... Kept on the road by Standard Threads (No Metric sizes here)!!! Keith 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Far and away more Datsuns are metric than SAE so there are more on the road from metric threads. Old Datsuns, holding on by a thread (No Metric sizes here!) Remember your roots! 1 Quote Link to comment
